possibility of sample cross-contamination. Refer
to Table 1-2 for maximum suction line lengths
and suction head heights.
Security – The sample compartment and
control panel have a padlock feature, but the
location may need additional security to
prevent tampering or vandalism.
Accessibility – The sampler must be installed
in a location where personnel can easily
exchange bottles and perform routine service.
The sampler requires about 2600 square
centimeters (925 in
2
) of floor space. Additional
space must be allowed in front of the sampler,
at its left and right sides, and above the
sampler. Do not block access to these areas.
Obstructions will make routine servicing
activities difficult or impossible.
The back of the sampler may be placed against
a wall. Allow free air flow on both right and left
sides of the sampler, particularly at the vents.
Unrestricted air flow behind and around the
sampler will allow the refrigeration system to
work efficiently.
Level Surface – The sampler should be placed
on a level surface and the feet on the
refrigerator body should be adjusted to prevent
tipping or spills. If the sampler is not level, the
sample liquid may miss the bottle mouth.
To level the sampler, place a bubble level on the
top of the refrigerated compartment.
